This site is a reference point for those with a cool head for climate science, arguably the most political science ever. This site is and always will be advert free and I do not expect you to pay me. When the government and most of the media concentrate on alarmism, this site is the antidote for those who don't believe the scare stories - YOU ARE NOT ALONE! (blog started on 7/11/07)

This article explains how some of the temperature measuring equipment aboard weather satellites has been degraded over time leading to inaccurate measurements. Some of the recorded readings were out by over 100%. The question is - can we trust the accuracy of the rest of it?

I must confess that I am not familiar with the Stockholm Environment Institute, but I could not resist highlighting this news release about "older people and climate change". What the authors of this patronising piece seem to overlook is that more older folk can see through this sort of stuff and will give them the benefit of their knowledge. The worst thing about this is that they are largely funded indirectly by you and me.

Here is a very good piece that debunks a recent report that claims we have too large an ecological footprint. This kind of thing is often quoted by the green zealots and it is useful to know how it is falsely calculated.

Willow cuttings and peanut shells are among the materials to be burnt along with coal. This article gives the details. Apart from the large cost of converting the burners to take the new fuel, there is also concern about all the tar being released. Apparently they are also going to attempt to capture the CO2 emissions. It sounds like they are going to produce some very expensive electricity - and we are all going to pay for it!

This article draws attention to a serious failure of temperature data gathering by NOAA (the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). The extent of the errors is not clear, but could have implications for the integrity of temperature records for the past decade.

UK Companies that fail to register their energy use by next month will be hit with fines that could reach £45,000 under the little-known rules of the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC). Those that do participate in the initiative by declaring their energy use will face charges for every ton of greenhouse gas they produce. These payments are expected to average £38,000 a year for medium-sized firms, and could reach £100,000 for larger organisations. --James Kirkup, Harry Wallop and Louise Gray, The Daily Telegraph, 11 August 2010

This article gives a flavour of the sort of policies being considered in Australia and New Zealand to try and control emissions. I note that methane emissions will start to be included from 2015. This is bound to increase the price of milk, meat, cheese, butter, etc. and yet have no effect on the climate.

We all know the saying "lies,damned lies and statistics". This was never more true than with the controversial earth's surface temperature. This article looks at how the alarmists and the sceptics can seize on different sets of temperatures to make their case. What this really shows is that the figures are far from clear, a point which at least undermines the case for "catastrophic" warming. Yet this is what politicians are claiming is the reason for decarbonising their economy at great expense.

Here is a link to a summary of a full interview with Piers Corbyn of Weather Action. He is able to produce fairly reliable long-range global weather forecasts based on a number of astronomical measurements, particularly the sun. To read the full interview click on the link and then find the link to the full interview.

Today I was reading the EUReferendum blog, as I often do, when I came across a link showing just how much funding the EU is pumping into scientific research into climate change. Here is the link. In the third para there is a link to John Rosenthal's analysis of the EU Connection in Climate Research. What this shows is that very large sums of EU money are being used to effectively buy the answers they want to drive the political aims of the EU in terms of the climate agenda. I highly recommend reading this to tie up the climategate emails and what they really mean for the integrity and freedom of scientific research in this area.

This site gives all the details of this great new source of information for all iphone users who want to gain instant non-alarmist information while on the move. I'm sure this will reach thousands of young people who have been subjected to one-sided propaganda in our schools.

Remember when our leaders told us they were certain that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction? They are the same people who now say CO2 emissions will cause catastrophic weather. Politicians tell us what they want us to believe.

About Me

I have a BSc Honours degree in Applied Chemistry. After working in detergent research for a short while I then spent 17 years teaching science. Following that I ran my own successful property company with my wife Andrea. I am currently a New Forest District Councillor. I was involved in the campaign to try to keep Al Gore's political propaganda film out of English schools.
I have three grown up sons and six grandchildren. Three have now left school while the others are currently (2017) aged 1,7 and 9. I see them regularly and take a great interest in their education.
